Psalms 125 KJV: The Security of Those Who Trust in the Lord

Psalms 125 documents the metaphor of Mount Zion to describe the unshakeable stability of those who trust in God. It articulates the promise that just as mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds His people to protect them from the 'rod of the wicked.' This chapter serves as a warning against 'turning aside to crooked ways' while promising peace to those who remain upright in heart.

v1-2: The Unshakeable Zion and the Encompassing Lord
v3: The Limit of the Wicked's Influence
v4-5: The Final Divide Between the Upright and the Crooked

Psalms chapter 125

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.

For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.

Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

As for such as turn aside unto their crooked ways, the LORD shall lead them forth with the workers of iniquity: but peace shall be upon Israel.
